WotLK Reporting spammers

[Njord12]

I've been trying to report people that spam /global and /trade excessivly, via the ingame report function, but they just seem to continue spamming.

Is there even any use in reporting, or are the GM's ignoring it?

spamming what?

They can be banned based on what they "spam", not how much they "spam". Since there is an "ignore" feature which allow you to remove them from your chat.

Btw there are some addons which may help you:

There already is a limit of how many messages they can publish so they will probably do nothing about it unless they are spamming using several characters or something grossly inappropriate like that
